Was #3 The sleeping Dragon? If so, it drove me absolutely crazy but I persisted and was glad I did. Have played it several times since, and it's easier. You get used to the controls over time...although I'll be VERY glad for the new one that doesn't have the tedious keyboard controls.

Alright, darn this. The straw that broke the camels back was the infuriating church-part and then ANOTHER similar thing right on top of it. I will just watch it on youtube instead and hope that BS4 is better.

Are they dead? Yes. Unlike you they have but one life...and they wasted it for your sake!

And it seems the fourth game is even worse...maybe I should gave just waited for the new one instead.

I wouldn't say BS4 was worse. The control system was still frustrating, though in a different way. They tried to give the choice between keyboard and mouse, but neither one worked well in all places, so I had to switch back and forth depending on the situation. At least the timed sequences weren't nearly as bad -- you didn't have to re-listen to reams of dialogue before you tried again. And no superabundance of crates for those that disliked them.

I liked BS3 (though not as much as the first two) and I'm one of the few people it seems who didn't loathe the crate puzzles (I found the stealth sections to be annoying more than once though!). So I would say yes, it's worth finishing, even if the stupid ending does rather spoil the whole mood of the game.
